This is has a hard post to write, I wanted to have some time to have been able to fully absorb the enormous amount of feelings that I went through in just planning this trip, seeing the trip through and then being able to digest the feelings that accompanied the trip. Our float plane waiting […]
I’m sick. I have a cold and anyone that really knows me knows that I like to be babied and pampered when I am sick. Well, when you are a widow, there is no longer a spouse to do the pampering. My stuffy nose was horrible last night and I tossed and turned. Then around […]
It’s been 387 days, and I think of Don daily.
I haven’t been great about keeping this blog updated. I have thought about it, but it seems to take so much energy to update everyone on just me. Writing and updating everyone on Don was so easy and enjoyable, but writing about myself … not so much. Blue waters of Bimini, Bahamas. I have been […]

Some may not know that Don’s Tlingit name (given to him by Elder Albert Davis) was Aan Kadax Tseen, which means Happy Man in a Village. And from the day I met Don he lived up to that name that was passed down to him. A name that he was proud to carry and often […]
Audrey Christmas morning. I can not tell you how happy I am that the holidays are over with. The anticipation of how I would feel and how things would go on Christmas, was both mentally and physically draining. The Holidays were sad, but they were not terrible. Thankfully kids have a way of turning your […]
